Finally organizing photos and notes from my High Point trip. Saw lots of texture, curves, and richer earthy colors.

Making upholstery decisions with a client and I’ve selected options that combine comfort, durability, and style. When you’re on the hunt for pieces like sofas, sectionals, and chairs here’s what you ought to consider: 1. FUNCTION - Is this seating in your main family room for conversations, playing games, and hosting guests, or for family movie nights and watching football in the media or hangout room? This determines whether we should be looking for something like 4 swivel chairs, maybe 2 sofas flanking a fireplace, or measure for a sectional. How about performance fabric? Do you have kids, pets, and snacky husbands? 2. COMFORT - Do you want your piece to always look plump and tidy like the day it was delivered, or are you team dive in and relax? Factors like slipcovers vs upholstery, number of cushions, loose back or tight backs all contribute to the overall look and how it will hold up over time. 3. FIT and SIT - Whether you’re tall, short, or a family combination of both, we need to evaluate the seat depth, seat height, arm height, and back height to make sure the pieces fit your size(s) comfortably and that you’re happy with the fill components: high-density foam core, spring down, fiber/down blends…the options are endless and these determine how soft or firm the seat is. When it’s time to invest in upholstery that looks and feels just right, I’d love to help! We can design the Goldilocks of upholstery that’s absolutely perfect for you.

Very excited and happy for these clients that they finally have the storage, layout and functionality they need for their family of 11. Family dinners (and breakfast and lunch) are eaten in the dining room so the too-small breakfast area was taken over by the new 2X sized kitchen. Client requests: - 2 full size side-by-side sinks - 2 dishwashers - 2 full sized refrigerators - full size freezer - XL range - massive island - lovely open view to backyard Custom designs are so smart and personalized-if you’re going to invest in your home let me help you maximize your options! Reach out if you need some help on a project at your place.

Warm welcome. I love this bright and cozy entry: custom mahogany doors, tons of natural light pouring in, cute little drop zone and pretty moment on the table. Very pleased with the custom woven shades that provide protection from the sun and privacy when needed in the three floor-to-ceiling angled windows.

I love a cozy corner. A view of the lake and pool deck doesn’t hurt either…

Top 3 ingredients for the perfect bathroom: - natural, filtered light - gentle but efficient task lighting - storage space for all your goodies

Al fresco dining (+ Claritin) season.

Hope you got to relax this weekend after St. Paddy’s day fun! 💚 Plenty of room to recover with your bestie in here.

Dappled in sunlight, crisp and cozy. Pretty perfect. ❤️

Fun fact: there was still work being done on this house right up until the last second while my photographer was shooting in other rooms. Minutes before these shots were taken, the kitchen countertop was scattered with tools and one of the upper cabinets was being finished and installed. There’s no such thing as perfect. There *was* a hardworking team giving 110% to finish strong: my GC got it done, my amazing photographer rolled with it and shot everything else until it was go time, and I tried to be helpful by passing tools and making jokes [as I do during high-stress situations]. I mean what other choice does one have? Moral of the story is be prepared, expect the unexpected, and support your team.
